Shipping Container Cabin Approved in an HOA in Texas
After endless searching I finally found a beautiful lakefront lot that had an open minded HOA willing to approve their first shipping container home! It took a month to prepare the house for transfer. On August 1st the house was brought to its new home (see images).
The same company that transported the house also poured the foundation. Once the house arrived they used a robot (and hard man labor) to literally roll the house onto the foundation. Really neat to watch.
I spent over 2 months getting water and electricity to the land, driveway installed, septic/plumbing, fence and decks installed…. etc. Luckily this land is in the county, not city, so permits were not an issue. House is available for rent in early November on Airbnb and I already have people booking!
